U S Moon Whirling in Space
The Explorer satellite design by the Army and its sponsors, with Wernher von Braun and Medaris claiming different orbital ranges from 230 to 2,000 miles and periods around 106 to 219 minutes, marks a major early space milestone as Sputnik I and II fade. The launch follows Vanguard delays, with Nixon framing it as peaceful science.

Space satellite data to be shared with world scientists
Explorers explain that decoding ground recordings from satellites will yield basic hazard data for future space crews. Precise measurements, such as interior temperatures and skin temperatures during sun and shade, will take months to compile from thousands of passes. IGY calls for full information sharing as Eisenhower pledges prompt release to global scientists.

Moon era explorer dwarfs earlier Soviet craft in size
The Explorer spacecraft, the U S baby moon, weighs 30.8 pounds far lighter than Sputnik I at 184 pounds and Sputnik II at 1120 pounds. Explorer's orbit is stable for 2 to 10 years, while Sputnik I disintegrated in January and Sputnik II remains aloft for months. Early reports describe orbital heights from 200 to 1750 miles and periods around 113 minutes, with Sputniks reaching speeds near 38000 to 11840 mph and naked-eye visibility fading over time.

Why Moon Stays In Orbit Theorized In Space Flight
An article explains that a man made moon remains aloft because its velocity counteracts Earth's gravity. After launch, the craft climbs then curves, aligning parallel to the surface at about 200 miles up. Accelerating to roughly 18 000 mph enables a stable orbit, while gravity continually pulls inward. The same principle keeps our Moon in orbit.

Russians claim Sputnik III launch possible soon
London reports from Moscow via telephone quote Valentine Luksil of the Moscow Planetarium that the Soviet Union may launch Sputnik III any day. Washington dispatches say officials study reports of a very large missile possibly to send up another Sputnik, with earlier Thursday reports noting two new missiles.

Long Life Seen for U S Moon
Dr. T M Levitt director of the Fels Planetarium predicts a long life for America's first earth satellite. He bases this on Sputnik II still orbiting after its launch last Nov 3 and its demonstrated atmospheric density findings. He expects 10 to 15 more satellites to be launched this year, about half by the United States.
